The Life of Renn Alrose: The Complete Petals

Chapter 21 - The Decline

SYRRA

3 months later...

"Jenna... I don't know how long I can just shut up... It's really affected the quality of the school, not just me."

"Syrra, I understand that you're supporting Renn Alrose... I do, too. But for the past 3 months, we haven't made any progress on this."

Hello, I'm Syrra Winters. I'll be guiding you all to my chapters today while Renn's not in good condition. I'm currently calling my sister with the new phone my mom gave me last month. I was happy to receive it because I can finally contact other people now.

"That's why I'm going to take action today." I planned to keep an eye on Cassandra. She's the most suspicious one since she's one of the victims here. It's just weird how Renn suddenly got blamed for something he didn't do.

While believing he is innocent is easy enough, convincing everyone is the hard part.

"I'll try to lend you a hand whenever possible. My class is about to start, so good luck." She hung up and I walked through the hallways of our school. Everyone seemed to have gotten lazier ever since Renn left. It's very chaotic, it's not stopping anytime soon...

Gosh, I hate this...

But I have no time wallowing and whining about the condition of the school, I got a quarterly exam to work on. We are almost done with the 4th Quarter, the exam 2 weeks from now is just in the way for my SCHOLARSHIP!

I went to the library and studied there. The library is less occupied, everyone's having fun outside of course. But since everyone is having their fun outside, it has become a hellhole for anyone to study in.

Not to me, though. I can be alone here and not be bullied by anyone in my class during my free time. I grabbed a textbook and opened it. I spent the rest of my free time reading.

But while I was reading, I felt someone throw a piece of paper towards me. I stopped and looked for who did it, but there was no one there. They must be hiding.

Ever since that day, I've been entitled as: "The Alrose Supporter" or now currently "The REDACTED Supporter" since Renn is not here in the school. Everyone either distances themselves from me, or humiliates me with anything they have.

I'm not going to let them get into my head... They can just walk away with their minds in the gutters.

After a while of reading, I felt parched and went downstairs to buy something from the vending machines. I inserted 3 nickels to get an iced latte, as hot beverages make my insides uncomfortable.

"They say those vending machines are cursed... WoOoOoOoOoOoo~"

"It's like whenever you order there, an incident happens."

"They say it's only for the hot beverages, wonder what happens if you buy the cold ones..."

"Ignoring the fact she supports the REDACTED one, she'll get the punishment she deserves."

I didn't look at them, but I was annoyed hearing them. What rude brats... I took my iced latte and drank it. Coffee feels good, and the latte blend is the best kind of coffee... It gets me going for sure...
